  • September 20th 2013

In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a bungalow in Del Ray, an end unit townhouse with a salt water pool, and a contemporary lakeside home in Falls Church.

It may come as a surprise that this colonial is a townhouse given all its unexpected amenities, most notably, a salt water pool out back surrounded by a stone patio. Renovated throughout with hardwood floors, on the inside you’ll find two wood-burning fireplaces and a ton of built-ins to display a large book collection.

UrbanTurf’s affinity for Del Ray’s favorite property type is well-documented, and this classic 1920s bungalow in Del Ray fits into that category. Beautifully maintained, it contains the original woodwork, has a fresh coat of paint, and new windows and roof. A recently renovated kitchen, front porch with swing, back deck, and basement rec room make it good option for an entertaining family.

We’ll be the first to admit that this 1950s home on Lake Barcroft needs a bit or work, but with some renovations and elbow grease, it could become a very cool house. In addition to a slew of floor-to-ceiling windows, a breezeway connects a two-bedroom “guest house” with kitchen to the main house. The seven-bedroom house is move-in ready with a new roof, HVAC systems, and generator, but as mentioned, it could use some updating inside.
